Looking for good novels about being born into a family and taking the imperial examinations.

It needs to be reasonable, reasonable, and reasonable.

I'd like to read something with the same feel as Confession on a Sunny Day.

It's not bad. The male lead probably has about twenty concubines around him. His future wife must be having a terrible time, discovering so many people as soon as she enters the room. I hope this can be changed later, allowing these people speaking different languages to play a role, and hopefully avoiding this "playboy" character archetype.
This is great! I haven't read such a good imperial examination novel in a long time. The ones I read before were all about family life and trivial matters, and I lost patience before even getting to the court.
The article is very insightful and worth reading.
I read it all in one go and was urging for more updates. The writing is quite good, but the only drawback is that the female lead's screen time is pitifully small. They added many foreign language teachers later on, but they're just numbers; it would have been better to just have no female lead at all.
Come, author, repeat after me. I solemnly swear: From this day forward, I will never stop updating. I will not watch dramas, travel, or get sick. I will not play games or write filler articles. I will be strictly self-disciplined, cherish time like gold, be indomitable, strive hard, pursue excellence, forge brilliance, find joy in writing, be tempered into steel, and live up to my readers, my…
The plot is very exciting; the protagonist takes revenge immediately when he has a grudge, without dragging things out. Suitable for people who like to read fast-paced, exciting stories.
It's very well written. The theme is about the imperial court, and the protagonist is resourceful and intelligent. The explanation of the power struggles is concise and easy to understand.
It's very good, more witty and humorous than the original, and the main character has a powerful background and enjoys the emperor's favor.
My personal history isn't great, so I'm not sure if there are any plot holes, but personally, I thought it was pretty good. 🍉 The comment is only about the character surnamed Yuan at this stage. The feeling she gives is that her affection and actions towards the protagonist are all calculated, without any genuine emotion. It seems like she's only trying to climb up to the protagonist.
This book is very well written. Although it doesn't use the name of the Song Dynasty, it describes events from that period in a way that is quite similar to those of the Song Dynasty, and it's very engaging and excellent. The names of the characters and their official titles are all very well done.
